Special Operations Military Freefall Training
With an increasing need for Special Forces to be trained in military freefall, stand-off & military tandem (MTTB), the choice of facilities can be limitless as non-military skydiving centers bid for the task at hand. Yet the reality is that they lack qualified MFF instructors that understand how to train MFF students to the critical task list. Performance and safety of the operator attending an MFF course is paramount. The learning environment should be safe, suitable and free of distractions.
Centurions Defense and MFF Solutions are a team of former Special Forces operators & instructors with a proven track record in training SOF personnel for air operations. Each is a subject matter expert (SME) in MFF training and techniques. In addition, we are also United States Parachute Association (USPA) instructor/examiners for Accelerated Freefall and Tandem parachuting.
Our facility, Blythe Tactical Parachute Training Facility, is solely used for the purposes of military air operations and is located at Blythe Airport, CA. which is East of Palm Springs near 29 Palms Marine Corps Base. Centurions Defense is mission capable for your military unit needs.
